Heartland

Evening all.

I know one or two people here have accidentally dabbled in illicit substances (but didn't inhale ), so I was wondering if anyone had any stories of their experiences.

Personally I've started taking legal ones when I go out, as it's cheaper than alcohol, and a tad safer than the back-alley "it's pure, 'onest" ones.

Well, Korin..it depends what you want.
Do you want wise words of warning or hilarious drug tales?
Sadly, I can do both (as I am a Daddy).

*grabs popcorn*

Better be sweet popcorn, none of that plain rubbish. Want some Coke with that, Motzlah?

I want tales of warning, tales of amusement, good trips, bad trips, anything.

According to dub lore...

pot is fun, but makes you a dull, lazy person.

speed is fun, but makes you a nervous wreck.

coke is fun - briefly - but makes you an asshole.

heroin is only for stupid bastards.

acid is extremely fun, but to be taken in the right place/ right time.


overall, I'd stick to alcohol... especially the grape variety.

There was the time I took magic mushrooms and spent 3 hours staring at the back of a spoon...

I've been spiked with heroin, that was unpleasant.

Lost far too many weekends to amphetamines; I think the longest I stayed awake was 4 days.

Too much but never enough...

Don't have any of that stuff over here.
Well, almost none.

acid is extremely fun, but to be taken in the right place/ right time.

Can't even remember the last time I even saw acid.
Which is prolly a good thing as it makes me suddenly want a new tattoo.

never touched the stuff

I've been totally square thus far in my life - doubt I would ever take drugs other than possibly to try once or twice (and I would steer well clear the ones that are associated with long-term mindfuckery).

You don't want to get me started on that Irish Knight though!

I heard you tried tea and lots of it.

To be honest I think Ebenezer Goode would be the one for me
Imagine that!

Last week I was dancing to that, pupils dilated, on top of some speakers, screaming the lyrics... nobody else was really dancing, but damned if I wasn't enjoying myself, it doesn't half enhance the effects of ANYTHING.

I think I'd be most likeable and least mental on it.

Come and give me a hug, world!

In general I don't see the need or feel the requirement. If there's "funny stuff" going round I might join in and have a smoke or two. I've been spiked with E which was interesting and different at the start, then decidedly unpleasant. And I have over-indulged in space cake, which was fun until it really kicked in.

I do work rather near a methadone clinic, so I get to see - on a fairly regular basis (everytime I walk out the door!) - the actual real effects of heroin on people, so if you touch that I'll kick your ass up and down the corridor.

Nutmeg is legal

Never taken anything ever. But If I did eventually try anything I'd prefer a natural hallucinogenic I think. Mushrooms or Datura ( I have a Datura growing on my windowsill ). At least they won't have been messed about with or cut with something nasty in a DIY lab.

Yeah. I used to work near a methadone clinic too. That and the aforementioned spiking by smackheads have given me an antipathy to H.

I think the reasoning behind a lot of legal pills/drugs in general is that users of illegal and harder drugs can get something that's generally "cleaner", legal, and not likely to f**k them up.

Heroin's one of those drugs I don't think I ever want to go near. I'm also scared of needles, so...

It's perfectly possible to be a heroin addict without injecting. It's smokable. (That's how I was spiked; I thought I was smoking some wacky backy, turns out it had added extras. )

Anyhoo, the second time I did mushrooms, was the first time I met Big Doug -- we'd gone on a journey to the all-night garage* and met Doug there. He'd just pierced his own belly button with a safety pin. That made a great impression as I'm sure you can imagine.

*the garage was about 400 metres from the flat where we were all doing mushrooms, but it seemed to take about an hour to get there and back.

I like a little hash (there, I said it ) but I can't be doing with this high-octane skunkified brain-mashing "bud" sh*t that seems to be all that's available in my neck of the woods. I'd be happy with a leaf if it was around - a nice smooth mellow buzz that enhances conversation, Floyd, and Wallace & Gromit, as opposed to the I-can't-feel-my-brain-anymore sensation. Not a fan of the bud hangover either.

Speed was fun when I was young and foolish and needed to stay awake (and which accounted for my ability to get into 28" jeans), but I have put away the things of childhood (apart from a Ribena fixation ). I did coke once, it was a work-peer-pressure thing, didn't enjoy it much, tried shrooms once and got dreadful indigestion, never been tempted to try X, meth, H, crack, or LSD.

Does this mean I have to leave the forum now?

Just for you.

I've yet to sample anything except in that second hand sort of way that happens when a lot of people are smoking interesting herbal things and the room is full of second-hand smoke.
I have every intention of trying a wide assortment of things, but I'm picky... I want to make sure of the right combination of substance, surroundings and companions before I start playing with my brain chemistry.
I've never needed drugs to hallucinate or stay up all night anyway- mild insomnia and *really* bad eating habits do that for me anyway!

my class are a legal, cheap, renewable source of natural hallucinogen.
the long term effects are unknown.
